Verdict
Picpoul has gained her only two victories on this track and though running poorly it would not be a surprise to see a revival. Breagagh is 0-39 and though he had been running well he pulled up when tackling hurdles on Friday. Curious Bride is 0-10 around here but was beaten less than a length over the trip in January when conceding 12lb so will not get many better chances. However, ELZAAMSAN looks the best option as though he is 0-18 he has been placed six times here and stays the trip and his stable has been in fine form.
